History & Background: Over 4 glorious decades of Customer Satisfaction and Trust.

It all began in 1962, when Shemaroo took the initiative and pioneered Bombay's first circulating Book Library. During this time when reading was the biggest form of entertainment - Shemaroo Book Library and its extension for children Shemaroo Kidz – became popular. Around 1978-79 Shemaroo further pioneered the video boom in India by setting up India's first Video Library in Bombay. Already a household name in terms of quality and service, Shemaroo diversified into the acquisition of Video rights in 1986-87. Shemaroo steadily amassed a treasure trove of popular Hindi movies and film based videos. Meanwhile, Shemaroo's distribution network spread across the country including metros, mini-metros, large and small towns - where we have our own distributors and sub-distributors.

From VHS then, to VCDs and DVDs today, entertainment media has kept refining and redefining itself to suit modern market demands. And so has Shemaroo. Armed with a veritable archive of Hindi films, Shemaroo penetrated into the Cable and Satellite TV scene, offering films for exhibition on various networks. To bring its excellent library of movies to millions of small screens spread across the country, Shemaroo joined hands with Sony Entertainment Television, where we are a joint venture partner with Sony Pictures Entertainment, USA for more than a decade. Shemaroo has thus carved a niche for itself today, not only in the home video segment but also entertainment at large.
